As his hand came within the scope of his gaze, lev- eled on the unfathomable distance, he observed that the fingers held a sheet of printed paper; and he remembered Florence. Instead of pressing his brow he unfolded the journal she had thrust upon him. As he began to read, his eye was lusterless, his gait slack and dreary, but soon his whole de- meanor changed; it cannot be sald for the better.

Vance backyard, PART THREE Throughout the afternoon adult members of the Atwater family con- nection made futile efforts to secure all the coples of that week's edition of the North End Daily Oriole. It could not be done. It was a trying time for “the fam- fly.” Great-aunt Carrie sald that she had the “worst afternoon of any of ‘em,” because young Newland Saun- ders came to her house at two and did not leave until five; all the time count- ing over, one by one, the hours he'd spent with Julia since she was seven- teen and turned out, unfortunately, to be a Beauty. Newland had not re- strained himself, Aunt Carrie sald, and long before he left she wished Jnlia had never been born—and as for Herbert Illingsworth Atwater, Junior, the only thing to do with him was to send him to some strict mili- tary school. Florence's father telephoned to her mother from downtown at three, and sald that Mr. George Plum and the ardent vocalist, Clairdyce, two of the suitors, had just left his office. They had not called in company, however, but coincidentally; and each had a copy of the North End Dally Orlole, already somewhat worn with folding and unfolding. Mr. Clairdyce's condi- tion was one of desperate calm, Flor- ence's father sald, but Mr. Plum’s agi- tation left him rather unpresentable for the street, theugh he had finally gone forth with his hair just as he had rumpled It, his hand. sald: Was It true or Mr. Atwater had told them feared Julia was Indeed though he knew nothing finnce’'s previous marriage ringes, or of the number previous children. They engaged, of or of his This man Crum’s record was a matter of indifference to them. All wanted to know was whether Julia was engaged or not—and she was! “The odd thing to me,” Mr. Atwater continued, to his wife, earth Herbert could have got his story about this Crum's being a widower, divorced, and with all these children. Do you know if Julia's written any of the family about these things and they haven't told the rest of us?” “No,” sald Mrs. Atwater. “I'm sure she hasn't. Every letter ghe's written to any “Well,” Said Mr. Atwater, it Isn't Our Branch of the Family That's Responsible.” the family, and I know I've seen every one of ‘em. She's never sald anything about him at all, except that he was a iawyer. I'm sure I can't imagine where Herbert got his awful informa- tion; I never thought he was the kind of boy to Just make up unpleasant things.” Florence, sitting quietly in a chair nearby, with a copy of “Sesame and Lilies” In her lap, listened to her mother's side of this conversation with an expression of impersonal in- terest; and If she could have realized how completely her parents had for- gotten (naturally enough) the detalls of their first rambling discussion of Julia's engagement, she might have felt as little alarm as she showed. “Well,” sald Mr. Atwater, “I'm glad it fsn't our branch of the family that's responsible, That's a comfort, any- how, especially as people are reading copies of Herbert's manifesto all up and down the town, my clerk says. He tells me that over at the Cole com- pany, where young Murdock Hawes Is cashier, they only got hold of one copy, but typewrote it and multigraphed it, and some of 'em have already learned it by heart to recite to poor young Hawes, He's the one who sent Julia the three five-pound boxes of choego- lates all at the same time, you re- member.” “Yes,” Mrs. Atwater sighed, thing I" “Florence is out among the family, 1 suppose?” he inquired, “No; she's right here. She's just started to read Ruskin this afternoon. She says she's going to begin and read all of him straight through. That's very nice, don’t you think?” He seemed to muse before replying. “Poor “1 think that's very nice, at her age especially,” Mrs, Atwater urged. “Don't you? “Ye-——es8! Oh, yes! At least, I sup- pose Ah-—you don't think—of course she hasn't had anything at all to do with this?" “Well, 1 don't see how she could, You know Aunt Fanny told us how Herbert declared before them all, only last Sunday night, that Florence should never have one thing to do with his printing-press, and sald they wouldn't even let her come near it.” “Yes, that's a fact. I'm glad Her- bert made it so clear that she can't be implicated, I suppose the family are all pretty well down on Uncle Jo- seph?” “Uncle Joseph 1s being greatly blamed,” sald Mrs, Atwater primly. “He really ought to have known better than to put such an instrument Into the hands of a boy of that age. Of course it simply encouraged him to print all kinds of things. We none of us think Uncle Joseph ever dreamed that Herbert would publish anything like this, and of course Uncle Joseph says himself he never dreamed such n thing; he's sald so time and time again, all afternoon. But of course he's greatly blamed” “I suppose there've been quite a good many of 'em over there blaming him?" her husband inquired. “Yes—until he telephoned to a garage and hired a ear and went for a drive, He said he had plenty of money with him and didn’t know when he'd be back" “Serves him right,” said Mr. ter. “Does anybody know Herbert Is?" “Not yet." “Well—" and he returned to a for- mer theme, “I am glad we aren't im- plicated. Florence is right there with you, is she?” “Yon" reading. ber, are you?” “Oh, no: I'm only thought— “Only thought what? “Well, it did strike me as curious.” said Mr. Atwater: “especially after Aunt Fanny's telling us how Herbert 80.

Renovating and Dyeing Important; Tint Bath Makes Faded Linen Like New. — { of renovation is dyeing. the older kind of dyes that require boiling. A faded linen will look like new after it has had a dip in a tint bath and been carefully laundered When your material has been thus freshened the next step is to decide upon the kind of remodeling that fits it best. Sometimes a dress needs only | a touch to give It newness and style. New collars and cuffs made by hand after the style of the expensive sets in the shops, and trimmed with lace from your supply box, will improve any gown, Embroidered panels made from an old georgette frock will make a silk gown fit for any occasion, Any skirt worn last year can be al tered by making It narrower and jengthening it until it reaches the in- Heavier Fabrics.
